While I enjoy many of Schmachtenberger's ideas, he's wrong about this.

Evolution definitely increases entropy, if it didn't it couldn't exist. I can't tell how important this is for his overall argument but it seems like a pretty basic physics mistake to make.

...is endergonic. not necessarily an increase in entropy.
natural evolution is really elegant as epigenetic selection. maybe niche diversification increases environmental complexity, but underlying ecology is reaching dynamic equilibria.

in other words, there's always net lossy increase of universal entropy. the biosphere mostly externalizes this to solar mechanics. the niches optimize for max carrying capacity, but humanity decreases biomass over time, though we achieve massive deduplication of information. imho evolution is +ΔS but we may not be.
